Meet Our Staff

Before she began her ministry, Kristin studied and worked as an actor concentrating in music theatre and directing. Following studies at Columbia Theological Seminary (M.Div.), Kristin worked as a Global Mission Intern in Chiang Mai, Thailand. She served as the program facilitator at the Institute of Religion, Culture & Peace at Payap University, and alongside the Christian Communications Institute as they performed Christian Bible stories in Likay (Thai Traditional Folklore).

Kristin is a Board Eligible chaplain currently serving in Mason City, IA. Previously, she served as the pastor of United Trinity Parish in Humeston, IA; as the interim minister at Chariton Christian Church in Chariton, IA; and worked as the Interfaith and Member Organizer at the Fairbanks Climate Action Coalition in Fairbanks, AK.

Kristin honors her calling as a follower of Jesus beyond the congregational walls by serving ecumenically and secularly within the community. Her passions include social justice, assisting those affected by substance use and their families, and liturgy writing.

In Alaska, Kristin served on the board for The Poor People’s Campaign, 2020-2022; and on the Clergy Advocacy Board for Planned Parenthood, 2020-2022 (National). Most summers Kristin serves as a camp counselor at the Rustic Chi Rho session of the Christian Conference Center in the Upper Midwest Region in Newton, IA.

Kristin’s ministry is underlined by a combination of Liberation and Process Theologies. Kristin is a dynamic preacher and, while she may be informal in appearance (covered in many tattoos), she leads in a traditional style of worship.

Come meet our pastor on Sunday mornings during worship, or reach out by email to set aside time to connect during the week.
